ACCORDING to the Chicago Times,
which is usually well posted on railroad
matters, the prospects are that during the
coming season Wyoming will have $50
miles of new railroad constructed. Gem
eral Manager Potter, of the Union Paci-
fc, has announced that the Cheyenne &
Northern will be pushed $50 miles further
northward. Its terminus now is at the
mouth of Cottonwood creek ON the North
Platte river, thirty miles southeast of
Douglas. The extension will take the
road to Buffalo, in the center of the grain
region of the territory. The Chicago &
Northwestern extension, the Wyoming
Central. will reach the oil fields, 100 miles
beyond Glenrock, which is ten miles west
OF Fort Fetterman. The Cheyenne &
Burlington will push north from Chey-
enne, while another Burlington & Mis-
souri, extension, which starts from Broken
Bow, Neb., will 60 westward through
Central Wyoming, up the Big Laramie
river and cross the Laramie plains. The
oil fields, the agricultural region and the
timber and coal regions of the territory
will thus be tapped before the end of
1888. This means rapid development for
the territory of Wyoming, says the Den
yer Ne1os, and the immediate use of a
portion at least of her large resources IN
coal, iron ore and oil.

To COUNTERPART the growing sentiment
in favor of the condemned anarchists, the
following fable from Ksop will score a
bulls eye:'A Trumpeter being taken pris-
mel in a battle, begged hard for quarter.
Spare me, good sirs, [ beseech you, sal l
he. and put me not to death without
cause, for | have killed no one myself,
nor have | any arms, but this trumpet
only For that very reason said they
who siezed him, shall you the sooner die,
for without the spirit to fight yourself,
you stir up others to war and blood,
she'd"
The moral which is drawn from the
fable is that he who incites a strife is
worse than he who takes part in it.

THE GOOD
A Pleasant Entertainment at Their Hall
Last Evening.

The Good Templars Hospitality received
and splendidly entertained their guests at
Knights of Pythias hall last evening. II
was announced that newly elected officers
would be installed, but on account of the
non-arrival Of certain necessary documents
these ceremonies we're dispensed with.
Appended is a list of the officials selected
to act during the ensuing year: Mrs.
Chas. Thomas, chief templar; Sadie Bris-
tol, vice templar; E6ie Rishel, recording
secretary; Jos. Granger, financial secre-
tary; Mrs. j. S. Mathews, treasurer;
Chas. Thomas, chaplain, Capt. Thomp-
son, marshal; Herbert Martin sentinel;
Lizzie Thomas, guard.
1t was perhaps a fortunate incident that
prevented the installation. Had it taken
place the exercises would have continued
until an unreasonable hour. AS it was a
most enjoyable evening was had. The
audience was both good humored and APP
preciative. During the rendition of the
following programme the participants
were generously applauded:

tertainment excellent.
